Maximum Mileage from Tata Safari
The video has been uploaded by a YouTuber who is driving the Safari alone. He takes the SUV out on the highway for a run. Initially, he decides to cover around 100 km and check the reading on the instrument cluster. After completing the first 91 km, he got an impressive mileage of around 18.5 km/l. He was able to clock this distance in about 1 hour with an average speed of 85 km/h. By the end of the video, he covered a total distance of around 425 km and the mileage still was at a decent 18.8 km/l. Somewhere in between, he also touched 19 km/l, which is extremely decent. The driver used cruise control to achieve stable and consistent speeds with minor changes according to the traffic and road conditions. Hence, it is not difficult to attain this mileage if one drives at a constant speed within a decent RPM range.
